Block 2 Lecture 3 -- Bacteria Flashcards
What is an inactivated vaccine?
vaccine killed with heat or formaldehyde to prevent infection
What is an attenuated vaccine?
live vaccine passed through cell culture (eggs or in vivo) to induce mutation and lose infectivity
What is a subunit vaccine?
purified/synthesized peptide or DNA subunits to eliminate infection risk
What are examples of inactivated vaccines?
polio
influenza
cholera
pertussis
What are examples of attenuated vaccines?
MMR, varicella, nasal flu, polio, BCG, typhoid
What are examples of subunit vaccines?
hepatitis, tetanus toxoid
How are vaccines characterized?
1) inactivated
2) attenuated live
3) subunit
Characterize the DTP vaccine?
all whole cell, inactivated
Characterize the DTaP/DTPa/TDaP vaccine?
- whole cell inactivated diphtheria + tetanus
- - acellular (just proteins) pertussis
Characterize the Tdap vaccine?
- low [diphtheria]
- acellular pertussis
- whole cell inactivated tetanus
How do extracellular bacteria evade the immune system?
1) Ag variation
2) complement inhibition
3) phagocytosis-resistant
4) ROS scavenging
How do intracellular bacteria evade the immune system?
1) phagolysosome inhibition
2) inactivating ROS/RNS
3) disruption of phagosome
